In full: Great run, mud & hills galore. Slipping & sliding everywhere and some more. Trail shoes a must and even with those was a struggle. But will be back next year. Find it amazing the times the front runners achieved. Just how do they do it :-)Date of review: January 12, 2014

In short: Mud, flood, interestingly narrow trails.. and did anyone mention the hills?In full: Second time for me and every bit as good as the first. Great Marshalls smiling and encouraging everyone in what must have been pretty cold weather for them. Fantastic course, the narrow paths in a few places just improve the atmosphere. You can soon get past, or in my case, be passed! Thanks everyone, especially the locals for putting up with us when you've had floods to contend with.Date of review: January 12, 2014

In short: tough but loved it!In full: Now I have mostly done road races to date, so thought I would take on a cross country race. Bearing in mind the recent weather the course was mud, mud and more mud. Oh, and can add in some flooded road too. A couple of the hills were really very steep and one in particular was walking pace only. However it was a fab race and I totally loved it. I found myself slipping and sliding my way around but with a big smile on my face. Fellow runners were friendly, with the we're all in it together vibe. Organisation very good and all marshalls super friendly. No PB potential unless you want to beat your time for last years race but none the less, a high possibility I will be there again next year!

In short: Hard but funIn full: This was my first attempt at this type of race and I can honestly say it was fun especially when we were sliding up and down the hills. The course marshals and everyone from the village who helped with the race were great.Date of review: January 12, 2014

In short: Another classic yearIn full: Great course, some suggested it should be postponed due to weather prior to event but so glad the organisers kept it going. Car parking magnificent considering, thanks to all the village for supporting. The conditions added to the great course and those hills were brilliant. Same time next yearDate of review: January 12, 2014

In short: Excellent! In full: One of my running club buddies called it the "walk and stumble" and they weren't wrong! If you're a slower runner like me make sure you buy your cake beforehand and then just relax and enjoy!!Date of review: January 20, 2013
